      Paul Oliverio has had nine different answers to that question.
      But as for which story is the most important,
      that would have to be A PERFECT DAY FOR BANANAFISH
      because it introduces Seymour Glass, which is
      [pardon the sacrilegious comparison] equivalent to
      the Biblical story that introduces Jesus Christ
